this is a classic situation before heading into economic slow-down:
a sifting of good from the bad, the strong from the weak... the weaker airlines will be left on the way-side unless they have some potential - like Monarch Scheduled. In this case easyJet would be using common sense to purchase them; plus Monarch must be searching for someone as they are feeling the pinch from the economic conditions, being so independant is not good in a market that is all but disappearing (IT/charter).
I suppose the A300's/330's/B767's will be disposed of.
